In the midfield, Paul Pogba remains a certain candidate to feature from the off and he could be accompanied by Fred and the returning Ander Herrera. Herrera has been sidelined with a hamstring issue in recent weeks but Ole has confirmed that the Spaniard is available to feature against the Blues.

In the frontline, Marcus Rashford is likely to keep his place from the midweek defeat to Manchester City. However, Jesse Lingard could get the axe with Anthony Martial a probable contender to start. The pair can be fancied to feature on the flanks with Romelu Lukaku leading the line against his ex-employers.
